Rebirth In Hollywood

Chapter 60 Recording and Dubbing

Jenkins Pictures was established quietly and without any movement. Except for a few people in the industry, not many people knew that there was another star shell film company in Hollywood. Even after its establishment, Ryan didn't even take a look. , the entire company has a total of eight staff members, including two part-time workers, Scott Swift and Pat Kingsley.

As Ryan said, the company does not have much business. It neither shoots foreign scripts nor buys movies for distribution. All it needs to do is to send corresponding property supervisors after joint investment.

Negotiations with Warner are going smoothly. Hollywood has already turned to big investment and big production. Joint investment and sharing cooperation will inevitably become mainstream in the future, and audience taste is the most unpredictable thing, which can pull Ryan Jenkins's lead. Investing together as a team reduces risk, so why not.

What's more, the investment quota requested by the other party only accounted for a quarter, which did not touch their bottom line.

Negotiations with Hollywood Records, after Ryan came to the audition room again and hummed a few songs, Hollywood Records showed unprecedented efficiency, quickly finalized the contract, and promised to record and release the single as soon as possible. song.

"Ryan, I think the whole tune and vocals should be more playful, try to minimize the irony, and the lyrics are enough." In the studio, John Burns himself served as the producer of "he", and was Give your opinion based on Ryan's singing.

Ryan is still very clear about the reason why it is too much. After thinking about it, he thinks what the other party said is very reasonable. He should be a bystander, not a mocker. The content of the lyrics is enough for the people in the United States to understand what it means. There is no need to add too many personal likes and dislikes to the singing.

"Okay, try again." Ryan put on the headset again.

Burns breathed a sigh of relief. The boy's performance can be described as amazing. After overcoming the discomfort of entering the studio for the first time, he quickly found his state, and the small problems in his singing, In his opinion, his talent and talent in music far surpasses even writing!

He wanted to say to him, "Give up writing and acting, your future is in pop music."

"The accompaniment also needs to be changed." Ryan frowned after listening to the recorded passages.

"Well." Burns nodded in agreement.

Ryan returned to the lounge on the other side, and George immediately brought water, and after he drank it in one gulp, he asked, "Do you still need it?"

"No need." Ryan waved his hand and continued, "George, bring me the customized training plan from the record company, thank you."

After the contract was signed, Hollywood Records not only sent a special person to guide him, but also made a perfect plan for the voice-changing period. After watching it, Ryan felt relieved.

After reading a few paragraphs, Ryan remembered something else. Al Sorkin finally sold the script to his shell company. He read it roughly and the general plot did not change much. As for the different He didn't intend to intervene in those subtleties, and gave the script directly to Miramax, and made it clear that as long as there were no accidents, the script would definitely sell well.

Even though Harvey Weinstein was a little dissatisfied that it wasn't his original work, he accepted the suggestion of a cooperative filming. As for the male and female protagonists, they would naturally not be Tom Cruise and Demi Moore. Ryan gave it. Suggestions are, Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman.

Peter is just a third-line actor now,

In terms of being handsome, it is no worse than Xiaosheng. Although it lacks box office appeal, Nicole Kidman can make up for it to a certain extent. Besides, using these two people, the saved remuneration can make the investment of the whole film more than 100%. a fold.

This kind of film that embodies the American spirit and main theme, as long as the director and the producer do not have brain cramps, there is no problem in recovering the cost.

What's more, Harvey Weinstein, the fat man, has always been very keen on the market, and can also be ranked in the top of Hollywood.

After several adjustments, this single was recorded for two full days. Especially on the next day, Ryan's condition was getting better and better, and Burns directly overturned the clips adopted the previous day and re-recorded.

If it wasn't for Ryan's changing voice becoming more and more obvious and not suitable for long-term high-intensity work, Burns even wanted him to continue trying.

Listening to the singing in the headset, Ryan shook his body gently. His voice was very clean, slightly hoarse, and a little childish, which was just right for the lightness and playfulness that the song wanted to express. , This song is at least one-third different from the original version of the previous life.

That's right, the tune of this "he", he borrowed the "she" of the dancing elves!

It's just that the original relaxed and cheerful lyrics were changed into nondescript sarcasm by him.

After a short recording job, Ryan had no chance to relax. In addition to going to school and facing the harassment of paparazzi, he began to go to North Hollywood every day after school.

Fortunately, now he has a strong bodyguard and driver, to some extent, can save him a lot of trouble, such as the Jenkins couple who came to harass him, and, in Nicole, another hundred thousand After the US dollar sponsorship, the school allowed his car to drive directly into the campus for a certain distance to ensure that he could commute to and from school safely.

Ryan also had his first big expense, which was his special car. Nicole wanted to pay for the car, but he forcibly refused him. His future expenses will get bigger and bigger. Do you really want Nicole to pay for it? Kidman was in charge until he turned sixteen?

His original plan was to buy a Bentley or a Rolls-Royce Silver Charm. After all, he had heard a lot of these famous cars in his previous life, but he had never ridden them. But before Nicole's eyes turned cold, he quickly rejected his words. Bought a new Audi 90.

George parked his car steadily in front of the T2 studio. The post-production of "Terminator 2" has entered the final stage. James Cameron often runs between ILM and T2 studio. The main actors were also brought back together by him to dub the edited samples.

Although it is only a few clips, the huge investment of more than 100 million US dollars has put a lot of pressure on Cameron, and he is strict with every detail than when he was on the set.

"Ryan, what are you stunned for? We don't have any extra time for you to waste!" Seeing Ryan's slightly dazed look, Cameron burst into anger, and the shocked Arnold Schwarzenegger quickly stepped back, In order to prevent the fire of this city gate from affecting him.

In the compact dubbing room, the only thing left was Cameron's roar, Ryan pinched his nose, took off the microphone, stood up from the chair, and said unhurriedly, "Wait, Jim, don't you? Does the T800 sound too bad when shooting with a shotgun?"

"Too bad?" Cameron's anger seemed to grow even bigger, and he shouted again, "Ryan Jenkins, you are just the star of this movie, it's up to me, the director, to decide whether the shotgun sounds bad or not. "

The corner of Ryan's mouth trembled, and he understood that the other party was on fire. It was better not to care about him. In the demo just now, he heard the sound of the T800 shooting with a shotgun. There was a huge difference from the previous movie. in memory.

James Cameron stopped suddenly. Having known Ryan for so long, he naturally knew that he would come up with some ghost ideas from time to time, and past experience has proved that these ideas often have unexpected results.

"Okay, Ryan. What did you think of, just tell me?"

"Shotgun dub, you're using the shotgun voice, right?" Ryan asked.

"Yes." Cameron recalled, "The gunshots were indeed hoarse and lower."

"Then why not use a more shocking sound? Only that kind of shocking sound can match the powerful appearance of the T800, right?" Ryan rolled his eyes. "For example... the sound of a howitzer or a cannon."

A picture immediately appeared in Cameron's mind. The T800 pulled the trigger and the shotgun spewed flames, knocking the T1000 to the ground. The loud noise like a cannon shelling a tank reverberated in the auditorium. The audience was horrified.

After more than ten seconds, Cameron nodded slowly and shouted loudly, "This is the end of today's dubbing, editing, soundtracking... No, call me the heads of all departments, right now! I'm going to make changes to the dailies!"

Ryan and Schwarzenegger looked at each other, this guy's style was really resolute, and the tyrant director didn't give them two faces at all, "You can go, hurry up, especially Ryan, hurry up! Don't give it here I'm messing up."

This is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge! Ryan sighed in his heart and said to Schwarzenegger, "Arnold, let's go."

The two walked towards the gate, only to see the whole studio jumping around in chaos, and they could only shake their heads and smile.

James Cameron's pursuit of movies can only be described in two words - perfection - although he knows that the world cannot make perfect movies, it does not prevent him from working hard in this direction.

In particular, when Ryan saw his sloppy and sloppy image, he only sighed that the job of a director is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

The post-production of most films often exceeds the shooting time. Especially with the development of film CG technology, the post-production time will be longer and longer. A director can produce a qualified commercial film in a year, even if it is a very fast speed. .

Of course, you can also make two or even three works a year, but the result of shoddy production is only one, and the market and investors will soon abandon you.

If it hadn't outsourced most of the post-production special effects to ILM, it would be a big question whether "Terminator 2" could be released on the original Independence Day.
